If I was in charge, and thankfully I'm not, I'd just create 5.5 and 6.0 If you have patches that don't break BC, put them in both. If you're too busy to do both, put it in 6.0 Somebody will back-port or not, based on their relative need/availability or not. If it breaks BC, put it in 6.0 Or perhaps I misunderstand the tiny bit I thought I "got it" of the point of using Git in the first place...
